About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Pennsylvania State University, advised by Prof. Vijaykrishnan Narayanan. Previously, I received M.E. degree from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, advised by Prof. Bo Li, and B.E. degree from Anhui University.

I was fortunate to work with brilliant people: Dr. Tan Yu at NVIDIA; Dr. Xiaoshuai Hao at Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence; Dr. Nilesh Ahuja at Intel Labs; Prof. Dayan Wu at Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

I am seeking a full-time Research Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer position. Please contact me if you have relevant opportunities!
